Ruth: Thanks for the idea about comparing the txt and rtf reports. 4,000 pages?? My heart bleeds for you! I've only edited a couple of reports and it nearly made me crazy.
And thanks for the warning about the missing text. I would expect that it's missing from the rtf rather than the txt, but can you confirm?

Kirsten, as I'm going along I notice that some sources citations don't print with the data as I'm comparing the .txt and the .rtf/.doc reports. I haven't been able to find a pattern when it happens, but it's another glitch. Ruth A.
